An eviction notice has been served to the residents of a central Auckland community hub - but the founder is refusing to leave, saying she s prepared to be arrested if it comes to that.
Police were today called to the heritage villa on Grafton Rd that houses Hum, a community centre, café and home to at least 10 people, to serve the order. It comes after founder Rosie Armitage refused to leave following a High Court order for possession of the house to be given to the landlord.
